New Yorkers looking for a permanent ride on Easy Street scooped up lottery tickets in advance of Tuesday night’s $454 million Mega Million jackpot drawing.

“I’m going to buy two right now just because I feel lucky from you talking to me,” said Brooklyn resident Lyndon Jones, 50, at the Union Square One Stop Inc. store on Fourth Avenue. “I think this is a sign that since you’re standing here that I’m going to win.”

The Tuesday night prize is third-largest in the game’s history and the seventh-largest jackpot ever in the United States. A $656 million Mega Millions prize was won in March 2012 and a $648 million windfall was hit in December 2013.

James Goodman, a 35-year-old visitor from Montreal, said Tuesday night’s lottery prize would fulfill his American — and Big Apple — dreams.

“Our jackpots (in Canada) don’t even compare,” he said. “There’s way fewer people. Whenever I visit New York, I buy a (lottery) ticket.”

“It’s just for fun, just to keep track,” Goodman added. “You never know. You hear the stories (of winners). I’d move to New York if I won. I love this city.”

Odds are long of hitting — as there is a 1-in-259 million chance of hitting all five numbers plus the Mega-ball. Ticket holders from 44 states, the District of Columbia and the US Virgin Islands can play.
